😱 OH NO… the leeches are trying to escape!
They may be little escape artists, but don’t worry—we’ve got them under control. 🪱😂

🪱 Ever wonder how we transfer leeches?
They arrive cooled on ice to keep them calm. Once at the clinic, we gently move them into clean jars filled with pH-balanced, mineral-rich water. Tap water won’t work—it contains chlorine that harms them. That’s why we use a Kangen machine to create the right environment, so our leeches stay healthy and ready for therapy. 🌿💧

🪱 People often ask us: Where do you get your leeches?
We source them from a trusted, certified company on the East Coast. They arrive safely packed on ice, and once they’re here, we carefully transfer them into jars with pH-balanced mineral water from our Kangen machine. This keeps them healthy, active, and ready for therapy. 🌿💧

🧬 Leech therapy for facial scarring? Yes, really. Medicinal leeches improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and help clear out damaged tissue—supporting faster, more natural skin regeneration. Especially effective in areas where scar tissue makes healing difficult. 🌿🩸

🪱 Transferring leeches is a delicate process. They arrive cooled down on ice, and once they wake up, we move them gently into their new jars. We use mineral-rich, pH 7 water from our Kangen machine—tap water won’t do, since chlorine can harm them. It’s all about keeping them safe, healthy, and ready for treatments. 🌿💧

🪱 Time to remove the leeches! We use alcohol because leeches don’t like it, which makes them detach safely. This way, we avoid pulling and risking their tiny teeth staying in the skin. Once off, they go into water—though you’ll often see them wriggling around, trying to escape.

Even the leech doctor isn’t immune to headaches. 🩸 Today, I put myself on the chair and felt the bite firsthand. Strange at first, but the relief that followed was undeniable. Leech therapy can help reduce inflammation and improve circulation—bringing natural relief from migraines and head pain. 🌿

This is the most important step forward: we’re starting a medical leech farm in the United States. Right now, all leeches are imported, with limited oversight on species selection and health standards. By farming leeches locally, we aim to establish proper regulation, quality control, and ethical sourcing—something the U.S. currently lacks.

We’re building the American Leech Academy to close a major gap in education. Most of the advanced knowledge on hirudotherapy exists in Russian and Eastern European literature, and very little of it is accessible in the U.S. We’re translating, organizing, and teaching this information so practitioners and patients finally have access to accurate, evidence-based knowledge.

🩺 Gallbladder infections can bring intense pain and inflammation. Leech therapy helps by drawing out excess blood, reducing swelling, and delivering natural anti-inflammatory compounds through leech saliva. 🌿🩸 This supportive approach can ease discomfort and promote recovery alongside medical care.

Living with knee osteoarthritis often means swelling, stiffness, and pain that limits daily life. 🦵 Leech therapy offers a natural way to relieve pressure in the joint, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility. Many patients notice real improvement after treatment—sometimes within hours. 🌿🩸

Varicose veins aren’t just cosmetic, they’re often a sign of poor circulation and venous congestion. Leech therapy helps reduce pressure in affected veins, improve blood flow, and ease heaviness or discomfort in the legs. Many patients notice lighter legs and visible improvement over time with this natural approach.
